Gettin soft

[starmac]

That old woman of mine and a friend wound up with a the contract to plant and maintain the FLOWER beds at a local business this summer. Well mt cantankerous old woman has been under the weather, so I spent all evening yesterday planting FLOWER plants. I tried to tell them that squash plants had the purdiest yellow flowers you ever saw, but they wouldn't go for it. lol

I know I am gettin soft, in my old age, I am skeered she will think she might try to get me to start washing dishes before long.

What's the problem? I have a 35' x 35' garden that I spend at least an average of one to two hours a day in weeding, cultivating, spraying for bugs (organic spray don't you know), planting, maintaining.....and cutting the grass twice a week on top of that. Wait until the veggies come in,....then it is freezing and canning......jeez....I'll make some woman a great wife some day!
There isn't much time for casting and reloading, much less shooting. But it all seems to balance out.

I have grown gardens all my life, from small to several acres and love it, bbbuuuuuut I have never planted a flower in my life, that is up until yesterday.

Take consolation in the fact that many flowers are edible so you were probably planting a food source

For a moose. lol

Will they let you set up a stand by the flower beds for Moose Hunting??

Not hardly, this is in a pickup only area, not even bows allowed. lol

Closest thing I've ever come to planting flowers is Buckwheat on fallow ground to keep the bees happy and keep the weeds down.
